Rui, Please give a more detailed explanation of the reason for this. I do not see anything significant in the picture [1]. And why would you ever want windows to appear to have focus unless they really do?
Thanks, Giles -----Original Message----- From: wm-spec-list-boun...@gnome.org [mailto:wm-spec-list-boun...@gnome.org] On Behalf Of Rui Tiago Cação Matos Sent: 27 October 2011 00:02 To: wm-spec-list@gnome.org Subject: Add _NET_WM_STATE_FOCUSED to _NET_WM_STATE Hi, I'm proposing that we add a new _NET_WM_STATE_FOCUSED hint to _NET_WM_STATE. The goal is to be able to do something like [1]. We decided not to use the existing _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW property since it would mean that all clients would have to listen for changes on the root window properties and also because _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW allows for at most one window while _NET_WM_STATE_FOCUSED can be set for any number windows. I'm attaching a patch against the 1.4.draft-2 xml file that I got from [2]. Comments are very welcome.
